[SuperFunkyAfroNinja]

oh yeah kids, pay attention, cuz this is important.

btw whats the last song name? the matrix one?

[MisterSicOne]

all you need is a strong foundation and proper knowledge in history of poppin. from there you let your soul and your mind stay free to create.

[AkosM]

If i'm flipping styles in one round, so for example i pop, but then i throw in some waves then switch to toyman or botting or any other style and i keep flipping them, is that a throw down?

[b0bby7ballin]

yo slick thannx alot 4 breaking down Popping into 2 segments. Get down and Throwdown here in London wen i 1st strted poppin i woz being taught the New school or Newstyle poppin n i thought i woz poppin, wen really tutting, body rolls, liquid, ticking and iso is all throwdown and i woz not hiitin, banging ,boogaloo let alone fresno. ur vid has made me conscience of the need for both so peace n nuff love for the G Style poppin.

[bboyNotorio]

thats a good analogy

[waves]

@bboyNotorio thats fact,,not an opinion...its always been like that since it started.

[boogalooSHAQ]

good one slick. Papaloo G-$style

[PMJustinY]

[iangandaaa]

I love this vid. KNOWLEDGE STRAIGHT UP. THANK YOU SLICK DOGG :). P.S. love the illustrations hahaha XD. You should go to the philippines to spread knowledge, lotsa confused "poppers" out here.

[waves]

@iangandaaa I AM TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AS I TYPE...lol

[hitpopdimestop]

Slick, you're genious! this video is somethin you must see before starting learning popping

[hand1971]

slick, don't missunderstand me, I'm really not a young guy or newschooler (check my solotape), but Ithink you have to get down whenever a good music hits you, but in the battle, THROWDOWN !.And believe me man, if you have countless THROWDOWN tricks and you combine them to a flow, than your THROWDOWN becomes your GETDOWN.THIS IS POPPIN FOR ME.This is mathematics, not the" funky" (sloppy, boring,dirty) get down.

It's just my opinion, still big respect for Slick. Bboy Hand Enemy Squad

[waves]

in terms of winning a battle or not... if you dont hit? you aint doin the popping dance.. trust me,,, even peeps who do nothing but throw down loose,,,and the dance looses... thats like break without any up rock what so ever,no footwork up top,or on the ground.. keep dat shit up? and fuck just call it gymnastics battle.. pull out a fuckin pomal horse,or uneven bars,, dont do the shit to no music. hit,hit,hit,then boom eye candy! eye candy,eye candy then hit,hit,hit,hit,hit.. 60/40 GD-or-TD.

[iangandaaa]

@hand1971

Yooo haha. I just think that a flow of tricks can never be popping. Some people are so creative though they get away with it :P. But still it aint dancing with out the funk and it aint popping if theres no popping. Dope viid man, 38 and strong hahaha

[M10J10G10]

BOOGIE FRANTICK!!! Can't believe I saw him man in person, homie is ill!

[M10J10G10]

Dang he's right about pacman and mr fantastic. Dang hope REAL poppin doesnt die due to all these people doin tricks an not gettin funky!!!

[Fant0mPOP]

great lesson THX Slick !! !! !!

[capricornwon07]

nice video thanks for posting

[Breakin6]

isnt this an old video u deleted a while back

[waves]

yup-but now it has illustrations @ 6:00 marker. listen people? slow down/watch/learn,, my tutorial vids arent performances! so dont speed through the vid tryin to find some to bite. use your brains/do somethin different for a change. listen/watch the lesson before,then apply. its simple. thats what wrong with the new school. i git folks all the time sayin i saw that vid before? as if i owe them this (free shit!) or like i owe them some (new free shit!) dam-give me a break.lol slick dogg-

[Breakin6]

@ waves

well i watched a piece and i thought u were just uploading the same video for other people...

something i think you do is think that everyone here is too bite but im here to learn and get inspired!!!

[rnogermany]

Very good explanation.....

Keep up that good work...

[PopOck]

DAMN! THAT WAS THE SHIT MAN!! that helped ALOT!! much love slick!

[flyingstepsx]

this shit helps the ppl to understand ..what the judges do in battles....and why some poppers loose and they looks great and suppose to win....coz ppl allwayz look at throw downs.....but judges look at get down and throw downs

[waves]

flyingstepsx,,homie wit all due respect?

the judges are learning this right along with you..

most judge on some stupid shit they make up in their heads..

they need to be taught also...

[influx]

love this clip.

[RedRobot2point0]

Yes... Slick you were not lying when you said you were teaching math... this is arithmetic.. addition.. I UNDERSTAND this.. I figured out much by myself by just observance.. (Very hard to do..) but this helps soooo much, shows me how n why and gives me reassurance w/ what I love to do.. and wow.. Thank you so much! Haha, Slick Dogg aka #1 Poppin Teacher... =]

[PrettyBoiFloydKB]

please keep this up slikk! i was so dissapointed when i went back to watch this again and it wasnt there.

[deewzy]

LOL i see you read my message haha

But thanks for futher explaining this slick and i hope this help out the other poppers even dancers anybody can use this advice and help their craft grow and expand. (sounding all Dr. Phil and what not hehe)

Anyway props Slick mane

peace = )

[Sangfroidation]

[Hiphopfl05]

Ive seen Pac man "get down" though.... He does do alot of throwdown though

[waves]

exactly Hiphopfl05 ! once you understand the difference clearly,you begin to formulate your style accordingly. 1:23 to 1:50 is NOT i diss! it is simple fact, the fact that eb style aint reppin either. thats why all the hate on the pac man's,and mr.fantastic's. because no eye candy leads to shit looking the same. all pac man,fantastic can do is git down more,and they are straight! lets learn with cold hard facts for once,and not be sensitive-bleedin-once-a-month­ers. G.I. RULES!

[Hiphopfl05]

well said, dancers need this education lol
